Question

Paul is tearing down a long brick wall. He

can tear down 5 feet of the wall every
day. What will be the change in the length
of the wall after 5 days?

Answer 1

The length of the wall will be 25 feet less than how long it was on day one.

You have to multiply both numbers. Since he can tear down 5 feet in one day, you would express that as 5x1. In 5 days, you would do 5x5 which gives you 25 feet. Hope this helped!
